The XML.org Registry offers a central clearinghouse for developers and standards bodies
to publicly submit, publish, and exchange XML schemas, vocabularies, and related documents.
Operated by OASIS, the non-profit XML interoperability consortium, the XML.org
Registry is a self-supporting resource created by and for the community at large. Industry
and functional meta-models are part of this movement, although an XML representation is
not required. Industry models will focus on a specific industry, like telecommunications,
while functional models focus on a specific business element like customer. Irregardless
of model specification, the basic purpose is to hold the structured information specifically
pertaining to the object being described.
Repository.Collection
The main reason that employees come to the repository (Layer 3) is to locate and gather
information. The content of a repository is not limited to the metadata content which is
provided. Rather, content includes the solutions and strategies employed to make it easy for
the user to accomplish important tasks, such as information retrieval, search, and navigation
required in creating knowledge feedback (Calongne, 2001). Becker and Mottay (2001)
define information content to include timely and correct error messages, prompts, button
labels, textual description, help, and customer service information.
